KIR5.1 is one of 20 members of the inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channel family. Due to its expression in kidney, pancreas and thyroid gland, it has been suggested that human KIR5.1 may be involved in the regulation of fluid and pH balance, thus making it a potential therapeutic target for hypertension, renal failure, or pancreatic disease.
